United States Sixth Circuit

Defendant's sentence for violating the terms of his supervised release is vacated where there was no evidence of the district court's consideration of policy statements in the sentencing guidelines, and defendant's 24-month sentence was substantively plainly unreasonable because it was "greater than necessary to comply with the purposes set forth in 18 U.S.C. section 3553(a)(2)."
